[Bodog/Bovada/Ignition] Unofficial Thread - Page 1245 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

What's "a lot" of volume? I've put in quite a bit over the past year at mainly 1knl and have received no extra love from Bovada. Hands per month? I know guys that put in tons and tons of volume at the highest stakes and get no love. Don't see why they would give some poker grinder red room status. Unless you're depositing a ton and a huge net losing player...

Nope. Other than the dumb football bonus things they had going on last year. $10-$25 here or there for playing certain amount of things or getting a certain amount of points at a certain game or some crap. Nothing special.

But I bet if I go spewing in the casino they will start shipping me all kinds of bonuses and incentives to deposit.

This, or you are winning in poker and dumping back in casino and sports. They don't care about rake, they care about money coming into the poker system.

Since there never will be a Nov 31, I guess you have a long time to earn it

That would be a solution for EVERYONE. After all, Merge does have the best software in online poker.

If that happened wonder if would alter merges software to still not show showdown.

Does anyone know of a U.S. Bank/prepaid card that offers visa debit cards without an international transaction fee?

As I understand it, NetSpend doesn't charge an international fee.

That $1 is just the regular transaction fee for NetSpend if you choose the plan that doesn't charge any monthly fees.

What you describe is what happens in poker quite often, if these things never happened then I would consider not trusting the site because it would be rigged.

I play Bovada on my Mac and while I was playing, it suddenly shut down. I cannot even open the poker lobby anymore. When I try to open Bovada Poker the Live Update screen pops up, along with the Bovada Poker Icon on my dashboard, but then after 5-6 seconds it automatically exits. I also tried re-downloading the software but it still does not work. I used to have this problem a few months ago but it just came back again. Has anyone else had this same issue? If yes, how can I fix it? Thank you.

I know bovada doesn't accept players from new york. But will I get in trouble for playing from there when I visit family over the holidays? Also, what kind of verification will I have to go through before I can make a withdrawal?

I've used NetSpend a lot for a lot of different things including poker and they've never charged me an international fee. I don't know what criteria they use to make their decisions though.

Yeah, always going to be exceptions I suppose. I think you probably fall in the minority imo. Again, I could be wrong, but just from people I've talked with, casino degens get red-room easily while it's almost near impossible for poker.

I'm jealous of your status fyi lol

Don't really remember where I heard/read that, so could be inaccurate.

That's kind of what I've heard before, but idk
